Books by the Pool will meet on Wednesday, August 22 at 2:00 p.m. and August 27 at 7:00 p.m.

The book group will meet at the pool’s picnic area to discuss Moon Shot by Alan Shepard and Deke Slayton. Rain location: the library. Copies of “Moon Shot” may be checked out at the library’s circulation desk. In addition, the ebook version of “Moon Shot” is available for download from HooplaDigital.com (New Providence library card required).
